Let's say you become involved with someone that has signifigant financial assets. Not a whole lot, be enough to where they have no financial worries or concerns.
They had their assts before you became involved. They want to protect their assets and ensure that they are not wiped out in the event of a divorce.
Would you be offended if your spouse asked you to sign a pre-nup?
Edit: One person has assets and the other does not.
PS: Notice I did not say he/she. It could be either or doing the asking. The gender is not important.
No, particularly if she had children. I think that would be a reasonable precaution in that event. I would, however, want some financial assurances in case I were the wronged party during a divorce.
If I had nothing and he had a lot, I would maybe be hurt that he wanted to exclude me, but being the reasonable person I am, I would realize that he worked for those assets and I am not entitled to them. However, I would make certain that in the event of a divorce or death I was entitled to something. You should NEVER sign a pre-nup without having your own legal counsel to consult with.

Not at all - I'd be happy to have MY lawyers take a look at it and make some changes for my favor.
Most high powered men also have a more frequent occurance of infidelity. And you betcha it would be in there as a safety net - just like Catherine Zeta Jones...if you even TOUCH another woman, I get all the money - prick!
I would hope not. With the rate of divorce these days you almost have too for protection. I've seen too many folks lose their retirement savings to a former spouse who doesnt work or works part time.
Mona,
In this situation one of you has assets and the other does not.
No, I would not sign one. I take my vows seriously first off and secondly, I don't take what is not mine.
